Hi, I'm Seldon Del Giorgio, owner of ATG Auto Repair. Have you ever wanted to know more
about your auto repairs, but were afraid to ask your mechanic? We're dedicated to making
sure you can drive your vehicle for as long as possible with the least amount of expenses.
This brief video provides you with information designed to help you make the right decision
about auto repairs. Often confused with wheel alignment, wheel
balancing ensures that your tires will spin vibration free.
Irregularities and imperfections in the manufacturing of both wheels and tires can result in heavy
spots. Balancing your wheels minimizes the potential vibration caused by those imperfections
generally felt in the steering wheel, seat, or floorboard. Wheel balancing is accomplished
by placing measured weights opposite the "heavy spot."
We recommend having your tires and wheels balanced when first installed, when there
is evidence of balance-related tire wear or every 10,000 to 12,000 miles as a measure
of 'productive maintenance;' as unbalanced tires can lead to uneven wear, vibration,
and potentially unsafe driving conditions.
Vibration-free tires enhance ride control and performance and extend the overall life
of a set of tires.
From a safety standpoint, unbalanced tires can cause excessive vibration at high speeds
reducing handling and control which may lead to an accident.
From an environmental point of view, balance-related wear will cause tires to wear prematurely.
